Quicker pace: Shot Lights out!

[yeis20]

Season is coming to an end here in the northeast, golf leagues are all done and no longer in the way (THANK GOD!) Went out to play after work on Monday and got paired with another single just there to maintain ball striking. Been paired with him before as he is a seson pass holder.

We had no one in front of us and each were playing 3 balls per hole. This person strikes well, played quick (i.e. did not waste time standing over shots for a rediculous amount of time like most) typical sales guy though... blah, blah, blah... me, me, me.

We kept track of all 3 balls played per hole and got to play as fast as we preferred and had no one behind us.

No Question, my best ball striking session of the year.

Best score for each hole 35
Worst score for each hole 43
Middle score for each hole 37

Was a beautiful evening, shot great, finished 9 holes in under 2 hours and felt like I was constantly hitting shots... no standing around, no slow play which meant always nice and loose.

If only this was the norm vs the exception.

Very close to a perfect golf session for me. I love this time of year :)

Did you pay 3 greens fees?

I love this time of year as well. I've been out to the course and play from 6-sunset. No one, is out there anymore. It's really relaxing and I get to hit a couple balls too.

I agree! The last 3 times out, I have played by myself, I have been even or under par on the first few holes, when I can play at a fast pace, until I catch up with some one in front of me. Then the bogeys begin.

I've never played multiple balls in a round of golf, but I have found this summer that when we are able to play at a little quicker pace that I play much better. Something about waiting a long time between shots gets me out of synch.
